JEE Advanced2009MathematicsCircleActual
Tangents drawn from the point P(1,8) to the circle x^2+y^2-6 x-4 y-11=0 touch the circle at the points A and B . The equation of the circumcircle of P A B is
Options
- Ax^2+y^2+4 x-6 y+19=0
- Bx^2+y^2-4 x-10 y+19=0
- Cx^2+y^2-2 x+6 y-29=0
- Dx^2+y^2-6 x-4 y+19=0
Correct answer
B. x^2+y^2-4 x-10 y+19=0
Step-by-step solution
For required circle, P(1,8) and O(3,2) will be the end point of its diameter. aligned & (x-1)(x-3)+(y-8)(y-2)=0 & x^2+y^2-4 x-10 y+19=0 aligned
